Are you being overrun with pimples and zits? Hopefully not, but if you are then lets look at some alternatives to expensive medications and treatments.

To begin with, “what is acne?” Acne is a skin disorder that comes from oils in your pores that comes from your hormones interacting with your skin’s sebaceous glands. The oils gather in a pore and lead to congestion of the pore when not properly cleaned. This is when the acne starts forming. If left along, it obviously becomes a pimple. While it is most noticeable to have acne on your face, you may get acne on your back, neck, chest, scalp, back, and shoulders. When severe acne is left untreated, it can lead to other issues like scarring and sometimes psychological problems such as depression. It is much better to deal with your acne today before it escalates to severe.

Some of the factors that can contribute to acne outbreaks are genetics and hygiene. Of course, we can’t do anything about our genetics except thank our parents. But we can do something about the other factors following the simple steps listed here.

1. Get your recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables to balance your body’s chemistry and you’ll be surprised at the how well you feel afterward.

2. Rose Water - Use rose water as a facial cleanser. Simply dip a cotton ball in the solution and clean your face at least twice daily.

3. Don’t Wait - Waiting for a pimple to form is like admitting defeat. Take control and do something about before it is a full fledged zit. Try patting some ice on the swollen location to reduce the swelling and release the poisons in the pores.

4. Multivitamins - Make controlling acne easier by taking multivitamins to help maintain a healthy chemical balance in your body. Start with a multivitamin that contains a zinc supplement. Zinc will help make you skin stronger and more resistant to acne.

5. Cucumbers - Only this time they aren’t to eat. Create a cucumber paste by combining a cucumber with water to make a facial mask. Put it on for about half an hour and rinse off. This is affordable and helps control acne at the same time that it refreshes your skin.

6. Carefully Select Soaps - Use only mild soaps, even though you are thinking that you should dry your skin out. Avoid using petroleum or animal based soaps because they tend to dry out you skin and make it irritated.

7. Avoid using alcohol based cleansers on your skin because they tend to dry it out. Alcohol free cleansers are a better way to go and will be much kinder to your face and body.

8. Find makeup that doesn’t contain petroleum product for the same reason as above for soaps. Petroleum will dry out your skin and you definitely don’t want your skin to be dry and flaky.

9. Finally, drink plenty of water. Keep your body hydrated to help fight the build-up of dirt and oils on your skin. Instead your body will try to flush those toxins out and leave you feeling better and fresh.

Take this list and really apply it. Remember that not all illnesses need to be cured with harsh medicines and chemicals. Always start with the simplest solutions first before having to resort to the more expensive and invasive treatments. Plus, your body will thank you because it will feel better!
